As I understand it, because we’re using a federated system the only way to keep track of votes at all is if one instance tells another “such and such a user up voted this post”. Whether or not a user interface surfaces that information so mods or admins see it is a separate question, but the data is there, so a safe assumption that whatever you vote on will be accessible to others.
Do you have info on this? Can mods or admins see who votes what?

I believe some of the apps lets anyone see who has up-/downvoted you and if I’m not mistaken on kbin you can see that as well.
Instance admins can see all votes
Is this a part of the Lemmy software or would they activelly have to go digging in the database to find them?
Admins can see votes
